I’m an AI-first full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building production-grade software end-to-end—from system architecture and backend services to React/TypeScript frontends and cloud deployments. I enjoy shipping quickly without cutting corners, and I use AI-assisted development tools as a daily collaborator to spec features, review diffs critically, and deliver reliable releases. I founded and built Nolo, a WhatsApp-native AI scheduling assistant, from zero to launch in under four months and then scaled it to thousands of users. My work focuses on LLM-powered products—RAG and agentic workflows with function calling and guardrails—plus AWS/GCP microservices, observability, security, and payment-ready integrations like Stripe and calendar platforms.…I’m an AI-first full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building production-grade software end-to-end—from system architecture and backend services to React/TypeScript frontends and cloud deployments.
